About

How

I approach people who look interesting – like they have a story to tell – and ask them if they, knowing they’ll most likely never see me again, will write in my journal.

They’re free to write whatever they want. I may give them a prompt to start but ultimately it’s up to them.

Why

There are so many people out there with such diverse backgrounds and perspectives! It’s absolutely fascinating to me. Have you ever looked at a person and thought, “I wonder what their story is? How did they get to where they are? What are their dreams?” I do. All the time. (Is that weird?) This is my chance to get to know some of them, even if it’s just a glimpse, and share their stories that would otherwise go untold.

Me

My name is David. I’m blissfully married to the perfect woman and have an 18 month-old son named Jake. I was raised in Oregon but have lived in Idaho, New Mexico, and New York. I currently reside in Salt Lake City, Utah.

In addition to Write In My Journal, I write at LivSimpl.com in my spare time and as an ad copywriter full-time.

I only use Moleskine notebooks.
